I agree. What I found with taking all those pills is that they may take care of one set of problems but they cause a whole set of new problems in another part of your body either at the same time or a time down the road. Better to try therapy that is active/passive that goes right to the source of the pain. Massage, heat/cold, and even using exercise like elastic bands that the therapists can show you how to us. When I have pain down my legs, I get our my bands and use them with my ankles and also get on my bed and do my hip exercises. Within the day my pain disappears. If we aren't sitting tall in our chairs, walking tall or moving enough in our day, as well as drinking enough water - our bodies tell us that something is NOT right. IT IS time to do something to rectify the problem. A physical therapist can show and tell you what you can do about the aches and pain you feel through the day with different parts of the body. I bet I have a volume of all of their exercises and every colored band in my house that helps me do my exercises and get through all of my surgeries through the years so that I can be flexible, bend and stretch and do the things to take care of my house hold. It's not to say I don't have aches and pains yet - I do but that's par for the course. I am aging and still trip, knock into things, bruise and do stupid things. But I still move my body because my body was made to move and not sit/lie still. There's too much life out there and I have today to check it out! And so do you.

Thanks. Good reminders about all those things, and I will look into them.
